Hi gmadeira1,
No. It could be related to where you got that id from and how. Can you clarify? Also, try forget your first (troublesome) user identifier and get it in the same way as you have done for the second. Is it still troublesome?
Hope this gives direction.
PS: To access some team folder in shared team space, you would need to set/change your path root too. Skipping this step would restrict you to member home/private folder/namespace (something assumed when nothing else set).

Dropbox StaffThat error message is indicating an issue with the member ID you supplied when specifying which team member to operate on. In this case, that would be the value you're supplying to the "as_user" method. I see you indicated you're supplying a value that starts with "dbmid:", which would be correct, but you redacted the rest of the value.
Please double check that you're supplying the correct value for a current member of the team there. You can get team member IDs from various methods on the API, such as team_members_get_info_v2, team_members_list_v2/team_members_list_continue_v2, etc.
If you're supplying a valid value, please feel free to open a ticket here and share the code with the unredacted member ID value so we can look into it for you.
Hello,
I managed to get it working using a different user.
With the user I was previously using, it always gives the mentioned error.
The user that is having problems is an admin account. Could it be related to that?

gmadeira1 Здравко is correct; valid team member IDs for admins should work as well, so it sounds like you had an invalid value.
And for information on accessing the team space, refer to the Team Files Guide.
